About Me
I am a minor league baseball researcher, primarily focusing on early Texas League history. My articles are published by in the Texas League Newsletter (MiLB.com), The Roxton Progress, and right here on this blog. I am also the author of three Texas League history books: "Homeseekers, Parasites, and the Texas Midland: The Texas League in Paris, 1896-1904"; "Baseball on the Prairie: How Seven Small Town Teams Shaped Texas League History"; and "The Galveston Buccaneers: Shearn Moody and the 1934 Texas League Championship." I have just co-authored an autobiography with former minor leaguer Sonny Jackson, "Baseball Diamonds & Country Gold," and I also have written two youth sports novels: "Batting Ninth" (Enslow Publishers) and "Nothin' But Net" (The Future Fisherman Foundation).
Current projects include additional Texas baseball research, ghostwriting, freelance editing, and operating the independent Texalina Press.
If you like what you see, you'll love the small town Texas newspaper, "The Roxton Progress," owned by my wife Karen and me. Check it out at the link below, and check out my authors page www.krisrutherford.com
